Vol. 2 No. 1 (2019): Effects of scattered Faidherbia albida (Del. A. Chev) tree on yield and yield components of three Cereal crops in Central Ethiopia

Abstract
Understanding tree-crop interaction is a key aspect in determining approprate tree-crop combination
and managements. However, little is known about the influence of tree crop interaction and tree management on crop productivity. The study was conducted with the aim of investigating the
effects of Faidherbia albida on yield and yield components of three cereal crops: wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.), maize (Zea mays L.) and teff (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter) in Central Ethiopian
farmers field at Silti District.Three independent experiments were conducted using randomized
complete block design with five replications for each experiment.
